What's a double shootout.
I learned from recently downloading Stars and seeing the bazillions of different tournies they have, that I gotta learn some of the lingo, there's a lot of tournies and shite I dont know, lol.

you have to win your table in a shootout.. you win two and you got a seat in the main event. I did however win the double shootout on there to get into a 650 satellite into the main event but like an idiot i sold it figuring id just get in through a double shootout..

I played in 1 this year on FT for $550 and didn't get in so I gave up on it. Last year I played in a 50 seat guarentee on UB and got in. Pretty sweet deal cause they needed 1000 players to match their guarentee and only got 820.

Yea, I figured that wouldn't be a viable option.
But if you create a new profile with a new credit card and new email, I can't see any way they can trace it to you.
I mean, I'm sure there is a way, but I dont think they would.
Ya, probably wouldn't I'll try it but would rather play a different site if it goes with the popular opinion

So how many people are in each? And I assume it's you having to win 2 out of 2 tournies?
Posted on 7/9/09 at 1:22 am to shel311
9 or 10 per table.. its basically like having to win 2 sit and gos.

I always play in at least 1. That was just lucky cause I saw a commercial for it on TV and decided that would be the one id try since it was the same day and I felt like playing. year before I got in through one of the megas at the Rio

I have an account there and a month ago when I decided to start it up again, I downloaded UB, logged on, and there's just hardly any players, so I didnt bother.

And how much is the buy in to get the WSOP seat for this?
I'm guessing $1000 total?

$1060
ETA: That's what it was in 07 anyway.

No way I'm good enough to even try that, lol.
Plus if I lost $1060, my fiance would kick my arse.

That's not bad at all.
The format, not your results

Mine has been oddly understandable the entire time we we've been together. She and I started dating when I was traveling and playing for my living when I wasn't in school and she never said a word one way or another. I would win or lose obserd amounts of money and she never cared either way.
